Lemon bar base ingredients:
1/2c butter softened to room temperature
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1c all purpose flour
Lemon bar base directions:
Preheat oven to 325f/160c. In a large bowl cream butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and mix until well blended. Add half of flour and mix well. Add remaining flour and mix until large crumbs form and the dough begins to come together. Line an 8×8 pan with parchment. Press the dough into the pan, ensuring you get it as even as possible. Bake 16-18 minutes in 325f/160c oven until the edges are golden brown. After removing from oven carefully poke holes in (but not through) the crust. This helps the filling stick to the base.
Lemon bar filling ingredients:
3 large eggs
1/3c fresh lemon juice
1 tsp fresh lemon zest
3/4c sugar
3tbs flour
Lemon bar filling directions:
In a large bowl mix eggs, lemon juice and zest until combined. Add sugar and sifted flour. Mix until well combined, 2-3 minutes. Pour over baked crust and return to the oven to bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the lemon filling is just set. It should be a little jiggly in the middle. Allow baked bars to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes and then chill 4 hours before cutting and serving. After chilling dust top with powdered sugar and cut into squares. Enjoy!

who else here from vid iq???
plus my name is cookie too except I'm a gamer
Just came from VidIQ! I am excited to see what videos you put out! 😁
Also here from vidIQ
I wonder if I can use truvia?
Do anyone know if it will still set right? I want to use a keto crust recipe I have but want to try this filling but not with sugar. All the other keto filling recipes have xanthun gum in it. I don’t have that and I try to stay out of stores because of covid and me already having health issues. Amazon will take at least 2 days and I want junk food now 😂
Thanks for the clear instructions & detailed written down recipe below! Made things So much easier!
Nice recipe
I subscribe your channel
❤️❤️looks amazingly delicious!😋 thank you for sharing
They look amazing 👍👍👍
I have tried this and it is so freakin good! Best lemon bars I’ve ever had and my parents LOVED it!
Good video. So simple and easy to follow! Thank you
Really good, I'll think I'll add lemon extract into the crust next time
Do I need baking beans for the crust, Similar to pumpkin pie crust?
i accidentally put it back in the oven after for 15 minutes, cook it for more if u want the whole thing cooked but if anyone was wondering it was actually pretty good! just tasted like the same thing but cake ig. 🙂
Nice recipe and excellent instructions. I'm sorry to say the music is annoying. Big Thanks 😊
Oof I added the sugar and flour in very much the wrong order.
Hopefully it turns out alright.
do you need the lemon zest? or is it optional? i have all the other ingredients, just not the lemon zest
Hi thanks for the recipe. May i know if u used the oven lower heat only or the upper heat also?
Will make this asap, approximately how long will the bars last for if refrigerated? Would love to have them as a snack throughout the week
I made them , really good 🙂 i tried them just after cooling , not in the fridge, but the crust was too dry it crumbled…do you think it'll fix after theyre in the fridge, or?😅
Practical! How cool is that?
Just made these, my bars are in the oven and I'm so excited. Thank you for this easy recipe for my favorite treat!!!!
My crust doesn’t crumble. Still comes out good but it’s like a paste and hard to deal with haha so delish tho!
Did you use 1 cup of butter instead of 1/2 cup?
It seems like all of your measurements are off for the crust. There's no way that you used 1/2 cup of butter, as is evident in the video of your recipe. I had to double the butter just to get it to cream with the powered sugar. I then had to double the flour to get the crumbly texture. I'm almost afraid of what the lemon filling will bring next as the crust cooks in the oven. I wasted money and time with this recipe. It's ridiculous.
Good Morning everyone, thank you very much for the recipe, i just made these , my lemons bars are out of the oven, first time making lemon bars, and I choose your recipe, because looks very easy, I can't wait to cold down.
I just made this . And it did not come out with specified ingredients and cooking time. My crust made was not crumbly . It was more like dough. Not sure if it will have like shortbread texture. Filling did not set after 18 minutes so I baked it another 15 minutes. It finally set. It’s cooling now. Hopefully it will be okay later when I cut it 🙏🙏
I so love your voice. You should do ASMR. It's so relaxing. Love.your video. I'm looking to do lemon bars and yours looks so easy. Thanks a lot. 🥰
i gave her a like, but why is she reading us the recipe–are we blind? if so we ain't going to be baking no lemon bars! LOL
nice! Easy and clear 😀
i wonder if you “aim” to make it taste like pancakes topped with lemon cream
❤,❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
